Macho Plant

Actually in week 2 since seed sprouted. Plant 1 is growing very straight and is about 5in tall. I am trying to do a very straight forward grow using mainly water and what nuts happen to already be in the soil. I will be mixing FF Ocean Forest with Happy Frog for the top of the final pot. The bottom will be Strawberry Fields for the Flower portion of the grow. My plan is to add Molases every third watering once the plant is in full Veg. mode.

Start of a new week. Pretty boring waiting to transplant into larger pot. Stem feels very strong with the fan gently blowing by. Only water once the cup feels lite. Normally every 5 days in this cup. Will update again at the end of the week. Feb. 3rd. Decided to go ahead and transplant into a 1 Gal. pot using Happy Frog and Ocean Forest mixed together 50-50. Watered until runoff. Will more than likely stress the plant for a day or 2 but will update again Friday.

2-7 Topped plant today. Nothing else needed right now. Will update watering and training on Tuesday. 2-9 Checked plants this morning and started to see the tips and a few edges of leaves getting lighter in color. Not sure if the mix of new soil (50/50 Ocean Forest , Happy Frog) is causing the problem or if it is something else. Pots were light so I went ahead and watered until run off. I will be away from the plants until the weekend so I hope they will survive. I have not been adding any additional nutes. Will update at the end of the week. 2-14 Plants are growing fine. No further signs of leaf problems. WIll water them again tomorrow.

Topped plant #1 today on 2 additional nodes. Noticed 1 hole in a couple of leafs but no sign of any pests. Added a pest strip just in case. Watered this morning Topped Plant #2 on 4th node. It seems to be growing a little faster. 2-18 Decided to turn grow light up to 75% to see if that helps with Nutrient burn. Ocean Forest seems to be a little hot for these 2 plants. Will see if the condition improves and if not, I will need to flush. I will be changing to Strawberry Fields once I decide to flip to flower.

Plant is filling out a little more. Still not stretching much since I topped them. 1 plant is showing a little nute burn on the edges Will possibly transplant into 5 Gal this weekend using Strawberry Fields. Veg for 2 more weeks Watered to runoff

Had to take plant #1 out as it was a male. #2 is showing signs of Nutrient burn. Transplanted into Strawberry fields soil and plan to let it veg a few more weeks before going to flower. It is possible that the ocean forest/happy frog mix was still to strong and is causing stunting and burn. I will keep monitoring as the weeks go by. I will continue to keep with just water until she either recovers or at least shows signs of stronger growth.

Plant seems to be doing OK after transplant. Shouldnt need water until late this week. Going to allow her to grow without any more topping. Planning on switching to Flower is a couple of weeks. Have a couple of large leaves that show some nute burn. May remove those if they start looking worse. Next watering will have molases in it.

Doing some low stress training. Did a full water today. Once the plant starts growing up again, I will switch over to Flower. Plant is not as tall as I was planning, but have vegetables starting from seed in the tent and want to start some Auto Flowers in May. Have one Male plant outside to see if it would continue to grow into the summer. If so, I will plant a female to start some seeds. Will check the indoor plant again at the end of the week to make sure training and watering are doing it well.

A few ups and downs last week. She looked a little rough for a few days but since watering yesterday, looks much better. Not seeing as much Nut. Burn now but will more than likely need to feed her some nitrogen since she is in Strawberry Fields soil. Will see how she looks latter this week and decide what to do. Also have Vegtables growing so need to keep lights at 18 hours until I can move them outside.. 3-28 Starting to stetch a little more. Split the main stem and used some tape to hold together. A couple of weeks before a switch to flower.

3-29 Start of new week. She is stretching and filling out. Growing about 5in a week or more. Will update later in the week. Main stem still holding together. 3-31 Removed some of the larger fan leaves to open up more of the middle. First major defoliazation before I turn to flower. Watered until runoff. Hopefully this will help get more light to the lower portion of the plant. Showing signs of stress after Defol. 4-2 Recovered nicly after the Defol. Will update with pictures at the end of the week.

4-5 Trying to bend down some of the taller stems to help promote an even canopy. Added some 4-6-4 tomato fert. to introduce additional Potasium. Not much else to do until I get ready to switch to Flower in the next week or so. Will measure and update again later this week. 4-6 Did some major leaf clean up to get ready for flower. I will wait a few days to make sure there is no stress before switching. More than likely will switch to 12/12 sometime this weekend. Hope it all works out OK. Will update pictures before I switch. 4-7 Making sure she is not stressed before I flip to flower. 4-8 Fliped lights to flower and watered. Had the lights set up at 12 in. but raised them up to 16 in. because I was seeing some bleaching on the tips. Will monitor and adjust as needed. 4-9 Noticed some Leaf cupping this morning. Will have to monitor to make sure thing dont get worse.

4-12 She was in desperate need of water this morning. Bent some of the taller stems down to even out the canopy. Pulled off some of the leaves on the inside of the plant to allow more energy to the top. I will take some pictures at the end of the day, once she has soaked up some water. 4-14 Starting to stretch a little. Took some close up pictures showing the start of flower. Will update later this week. 4-15 More flowers developing. Should start stretching more next week. Will update again tomorrow. Turned light up to 100% and raised it up to 20in. Showing some tip burn. Watered with "Recharge" to help feed the roots. 4-16 She grew about an inch since yesterdays watering. May need to add calmag at some point but will give her a few days. 4-18 Seeing some light splotches on a few of the leaves. Will monitor closley and make adjustments.

4-19 Noticed my timer was on 13 hours instead of 12 Hours. Fixed it and now we should be on a straight 12. She is still coming along pretty well in flower. Will stay with water until I can figure out what is causing the yellowing on the leafs. 4-20 More leaves showing some discolor. I will get some CalMag next time out and see if that helps. 4-21 Other than the leaves, she looks strong and buds are starting to stack a little. 4-22 Removed a few leaves today to open up bud sites. Next watering will get more Recharge. 4-23 Bud sites are getting fuzzy. Watered with Recharge today. 4-24 Pictures only today 4-25 Still have splotchy leaves but plant seems healthy.

4-26 Did some defoliation at the bottom of the plant. Removed leaves and bud sites that would not receive much light. Still have some leaf discoloration but not turning yellow or brown. 4-28 Noticed lower leaves were sagging but the upper leaves looked fine. Pot was real light so I added water with 1tsp of Recharge added. Should have watered yesterday as that was day 4 since last water. Bud sites are starting to grow together. I will add some molases on my next watering to give it some added sugars to break down. 4-29 Took a few pictures and pulled off some stems that wouldn't get enough light to produce. Still having some yellowing. I'm just going to let her grow and see how things turn out. 4-30 Adding a few pictures from this morning. Planning on adding some 3-5-6 to help with the flower next watering. Removed a few more stems with buds that were lower in the canopy. Should be done with the defoliation for a little while. Decided to go ahead and water as the pot was feeling light. 5-2 Leaves still loosing color but buds seem to be stacking up a little more. Still have about a month left before everything is ready.

5-3 No real update as we start week 5 of flower. Added a gal. of water as she was feeling pretty light. Added some new photos. Some leave still turning yellow. 5-5 Did some defoliation mainly on the lower part. Removed several lower large fan leaves that were yellowing. Buds seem to be doing fine. Only a few of the upper leaves have some sploching. I have decided not to worry about the yellowing as I am in the last few weeks of flowering. Thank you for everyone that responded to my question. 5-7 Watered with a tbl of epson salts to give a touch of Magnesium. Mainly lower leaves are turning slightly yellow. Removing them when they are completly changed. 5-8 Next water will be with "Recharge" and the last 3-5-6 Fertilizer. Buds are thicking up. 5-9 Last day of week. Just leaving her alone to do her thing.

5-10 Hoping to finish this up in 2 weeks. She is really starting to thicken up and pulling from all resources. Will more than likely wait to water late tomorrow as I will be out of town for 4 days. 5-11 Planning on watering in the morning. She could use it now, but I will do it early tomorrow. Leaves are starting to yellow more. Need to add some CalMag to get through the next couple of weeks. 5-12 After looking at the plant before lights out, I decided to go ahead and water. I will top it off again this morning just to make sure she has plenty for the next few days. Ill update at end of week. 5-16 Leaves are starting to turn yellow. Buds seem to be getting larger. Will only get water the last 2 weeks.

5-17 Only water from here on out. Just waiting for the buds to finish. Cant wait to cut her down. 5-18 Pictures only today. Will water tomorrow. Getting orange hairs not sure what the trichomes look like. 5-20 More leaves a yellowing. Should be finishing up late next week. 5-21 Gave her a Gal. of water. Buds looking a little thicker.

5-24 Will only be doing water this week. More hairs turning amber and hope she is ready by the end of the week. I will be starting some Auto's in a few weeks. 5-26 Pictures only. Just waiting for buds to ripen before we cut her down. 5-27 Tried to take a close up but cant hold the phone still. I think she will be ready at the end of the week. Watered one last time.

5-31 Was hoping to harvest today but they still need a little more time. Most of the leaves are yellowing so it should be this week . 6-2 Ended up cutting her down this morning. Might be a little early, but didnt have a choice. Im sure she will work out OK. I am guessing that I will get 4-5 oz out of her. I will update once she is dry and cured in a few weeks.

This was my very first grow. I choose a photoperiod strain to allow me to learn how to properly grow. Very forgiving strain that yielded a great harvest. I will grow this one again.
